Be a Rockinghorse Star this Christmas

Did you know that 2,631 children had to go to the Accident and Emergency department of the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital during December last year? Or that 872 babies, children and young people were admitted to the hospital in the same month?

That’s more than 3,500 children who end up in hospital for one reason or another during the festive season. And that’s not much fun.

Spending time in hospital over the Christmas period isn’t fun for anyone, but it’s even worse for children – not knowing if Father Christmas will know where to find them, not being able to enjoy Christmas at home with their family, not to mention being scared and worried about what their treatment might involve.

Find out here how you can help make sure no child misses out this Christmas.
